User ID: 730536 United States 11/06/2010 01:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Somali pirates = code for Islamic extremists. But the media never points that fact out at all. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |

anpnanon User ID: 1154728 Switzerland 11/06/2010 01:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe those tankers and other ships that have to go near the region should all be armed with topedos so they can blow the pirates out of the water. Let them count their dead instead. It is not as if they do anything good with the money. It is all just greed and terror. If they are going to act like savages, then they should be treated as such. |

TPTB are using them to further militarize the region, that includes false flags arising from Yemen to the north. They "TPTB" want full control of the straights and surrounding region. |

User ID: 1131641 United States 11/06/2010 03:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Huge mistake. Now the Muslim pirates are not only emboldened, they are well funded and know who to hit again. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 668839 United States 11/06/2010 04:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hmmm... how do we know that a given hostaged ship's captain/crew aren't getting kickbacks? "Hey, our bosses at ABC Shipping can afford $10M, ask for that instead of the paltry $5M ransom you're asking and let's split the difference. We're carrying such nice cargo too, ya know..." Yeah, plus the illegal dumping of toxic waste in Somali waters. Maybe it's just cheaper to pay the pirates than to dispose of it "legally". |
